lost fic #90 - withdrawal

Apr 03, 2007 14:34

Title: Withdrawal
Rating/warnings: PG-13 for drug references and language
Summary: Charlie speaks out for the first time about what going through Heroin withdrawal feels like. Slight C/C angle.
Spoilers: The Moth, Confidence Man, Homecoming
Disclaimer: DOM IS MINE. Lost however is not. I also stole some Linkin Park lyrics for my cut.

An addict and he can’t hold the reins - the pain is worse cause his friends have it the same... )

Cheroin is like, my anti drug. Pun fully intended of course XD. I do love me some angsty Charlie, especially if it involves junkie!Charlie. He kind of fascinates me - in a grim, morbid kind of way.

Haha, I like it too. It made me giggle as I was writing it ^_^

You have? Yay! I can't wait to read it!

I went through a HUGE Linkin Park phase during High School, the lyrics I used in the cut/link are from "Carousel" which reminds me irresistably of Charlie (and Claire too if you twist the meaning a little bit)

Aw, thanks! I use a combination of Paint Shop Pro and PhotoImpact to make headers and all the other graphics I do.

You're a sadist? And I'm not? I've killed Charlie more than a half dozen times! Go the Charlie!angst! ^___^

Haha. That's cool, I'm the complete opposite, I'm like super-writer and then my fanfics tend to stack up and wait to get posted until they've been discredited *facepalm*

They do. I went through a HUGE Linkin Park phase in high school and I still hold a special place for them in my heart ^_^

Freaking sweet! Not that I expected any less.

It was nice to read something about early Charlay and what he struggled with cause the show didn't really do his withdrawl justice. This is a much more accurate depiction.

Loving the little slip-ups of your inner C/C as well. =p

-grabs you and Charlie in a group hug just cause-

I think everyone was disappointed with the lack of withdrawal that we got - although with the rating of the show it's kind of understandable. But hey, that's why we've got fandom and fanfic!

I just can't help myself when it comes to those two! They're in 99% of all my Lost fics (and I'm nearly up to 100 now! FTW!)

Yay! Group hug!

You've really caught Charlie's voice here and I love how he just explains what it was like for him and then his meeting Claire:)

*Hugs Charlie*

Thanks! I was quite dissappointed with how little they actually showed of his withdrawal on the show so the idea for this fic has been in the back of my mind for a while now. Thanks for r/ring!

Excellent. I just loved the detail and introspection in this fic. Little touches like the way Charlie's fingers twitch really brought this story to life very vividly. I wish there had been more of Charlies withdrawral on the show - thank god for fanfic!

I think the twitchy hands is a character trait that has carried through with Charlie even after his withdrawal and I love that we get to see that on the show through Dom. I made mention of his twitchiness in another Confidence Man era fic I wrote from Claire's POV, although she didn't know why Charlie was so fidgety. I'm such a sucker for small details like that.

Thank you for r/ring!

That was very, very good. Haven't read anything Season One based in a long time. You write the whole withdrawl, junkie thing well. Great fic!

I haven't written anything S1 based in a long time and it's always so fun to go back to the characters and see where they were as opposed to now in S3 - some of them have changed so much.

Thank you for taking the time to read/review! =)
